Ruatoria Township Plan

The 2011 Ruatoria township plan update builds on the work done in 2008, that identified the community's long term vision and key projects. Many of the previous projects have now been completed, like groynes in Waiapu river, diverting the stock route, improvements on main street, fruit orchard to name a few.

New priorities have now emerged and the top 10 projects that the community will focus on over the next 10 years are:

river protection works

community recreation centre

Puawaitanga Park

traditional Māori place names

healthy homes

weed, pest and animal control

poupou in township

walking and cycling track

community orchard

riverbank natives

The other ideas that are important to the community are included in the list at the end of the update and implementation plan.
